It was only a matter of time before I got to this one, right? One of the coolest aspects of comicdom has always been the fact that many of our heroes need spiffy, space-age vehicles to get around in, right? I mean, how else is the Fantastic Four going to get to Latvaria to battle Dr. Doom or the X-Men going to get to wherever the Brotherhood is causing trouble? They need transportation!
Over the years there’s been a great amount of vehicles that have come along...and then...not so much. This here’s a list of the coolest of the cool, so don’t expect the Spider-Buggy or the Jokermobile or anything weird like that. Also, the Guardians’ Milano was JUST introduced in the comics, so that didn’t make the cut either! And as always, your favorite may not make the list! My apologies, but you know how hard it is to please EVERYONE! Feel free to air your opinion in the comments section!

Bright Young Stars
It’s great watching new characters develop as I continue to read comics. While the two main publishing houses continually strive to reinvent themselves, one of the key problems they face is how do you keep things fresh? How many times can you write an original plot? How many characters eventually replicate each others powers?
Of course, that’s not to say that popular characters don’t work – that’s why they’re popular – it’s just hard to try and keep them from growing stagnant. One of the best ways to prevent this from happening is to pass on the baton to someone else. That way, the character or alter-ego remains the same, while the personality can often be allowed to be radically different.
Look at the Death of Bruce Wayne for instance. I cite this saga a lot but when Dick Grayson took up the Mantle of the Bat, the character was invigorated and the evolution of Batman was complete. It seemed a backwards step bringing Bruce Wayne back as the Caped Crusader but, as Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo have proved over the last two years, there’s only one Dark Knight Detective.

Since FCBD, I started picking up new comic book titles. I was pretty committed to DC before as I am (and will be for the foreseeable future) a huge advocate the New 52 universe. It excited me and made me interested in my favorite characters in a completely new way. I ate up most of the Green Lantern titles, Earth 2 and the re-imagining of the Justice League.
